i know there are medicine that are injectables too, like my mom who is a diabetic the meds she have are injectables. the most common are liquid, tablets and capsules.
in drinking medicine if its for cough i would rather choose the liquid because i can feel the liquid coming down my throught and it gives me a good feeling for it soothes the itch and the heavy feeling of my chest. but on other meds or vitamins i would rather have capsules for it is easy to swallow.

of course, me and my family also only drinl medicine and vitamins on doctor's prescription. in that way we are safe. there are a lot of medicine that are not safe and might cause complication. if only you have a choice for that is my discussion

i hate drinking medicines. when you sweat you smell like meds when you burp it taste like meds. lol. when i was a child i am so scared to drink meds, i even eat banana to be able to swallow it. sounds stupid but i am scared. now i can able to swallow it with water. back to your discussion just like you i like a cough meds to be liquid for its fast acting relief. i am still having a hard time swallowing the tablets so i prefer capsules.
